I live in Germany because my husband is in the Military,but I cant go any were because we have one car and he leaves at 0500hrs every morning and doesnt get home til 8pm. I have a family reunion coming up in july and I was hoping to lose as much weight as posible by then. Trust me I know I wont be able to lose 80 lbs but please help because I dont think that I can face my family like this.

Thank you

Answer 1

All that 'WURST' hmmm? I live in Germany as well and picked up10kg within an alarmingly short time after I arrived.
Search the web for 'cabbage soup diet'. There are a few variations. It works, I know because I use it every now and again. (And have been for many years) Mainly after Christmas. And don't worry, you don't ONLY eat cabbage. You lose 5kg+ in one week. (+- 11 lbs)

After that, you need to evaluate your eating habits and make consequent changes if you don't want to gain it back. Their cuisine is very different and hides an awful amount of fat.
Good Luck

+ Only eat when you're hungry.
+ Walk about 30 mins-45 mins each day, walking fast for 2 mins and then walking moderate for 2 mins then repeating
+ Jogging for 15-30 mins in the park every 2 days
+ Doing yoga 2-3 times a week
+ Swimming 4-5 days a week
+ Walking your dog [if you have one]..
+ Do 10-20 sit ups every day
+ Get 1litre water bottle and fill it HALF WAY with water, and put your arm straight down so it's beside your waist. Then Bring it up like you would with a weight, then bring it down. Do this 15 times on each arm twice a day!!
+ Ride your bike to&from work [if you go to work]
+ Do Pilates. Lie down on the ground facing a wall. Lift your leg up [make sure it's straight] move it high up against the wall until you feel a slight stretch [DON'T do it too high otherwise you'll cause injury] hold for 4-5 seconds and do the same with the other foot. Repeat 5 times, twice a day
+ Eat healthily. If you do all these exercises then munch on bars of chocolate or McDonald's, you'll never succeed. Allow yourself one small bar of chocolate every Sunday, after Sunday Lunch and don't give into temptation!

* Gradually build up though, don't do everything I listed here all at once because you'll do yourself injury.. And all this does pay off because I was 5'6 and 160lbs once and I gradually went down to 122lbs, and I didn't even restrict any foods I just did all this exercise and didn't do any diets. I don't eat McDonald's or fish and chips or any other fast food, just healthy food and I only eat spicy foods ocasionally

By the way hunnie you can't lose 80-100lbs 'fast' it has to be done in time.

Answer 3

Hi there. Losing weight fast is dangerous and almost always involves muscle atrophy or wasting away of the muscles. What's considered safe is 1-2 lbs per week. Some bigger people lose more weight at first, of which may be water weight. I would suggest reducing calories some, eating three meals and two snacks a day for proper metabolism, drinking a lot of water, and cutting back on white sugars, white pasta, mayonnaise and sodas. This will take around 40-50 weeks or more if done healthily. Don't fall for crazy diets like the grapefruit diet, over the counter pills, or things you see on TV.
www.sparkpeople.com is a great web site.

If you want to lose weight, you have to exercise more and eat healthy. I know it's hard to eat healthy. You don't have to eat all vegetable and drink diet coke. It takes time, make a list of what you eat daily.
You can eat or drink anything except the following:
Soda - diet or regular (instead drink something light in sugar and more in vitamin like oj or water, read the label)
Butter - butter is all fat (instead use olive oil or vegetable oil)
Dairy - milk has vitamin D (instead drink OJ w/ vitamin D or drink 2% milk for similar taste)
Sauce - any oil based sauce (instead use mustard, soy sauce, hot sauce, or tomato sauce w/o oil on it)
Fry food - any think fried is no good (if you must have it, make sure it's fry in vegetable oil)
Fast food - no fries or sides (if you have to eat fast food, make sure the sauce is light and don't ask for a side order. It's a waste of money and your health)

Remember that suguar turns into fat if you don't burn it off.
Americans are so fat because of butter and oily sauces.
Chinese takeout are good source of veggie, however, don't intake took much sauce. They use vegetable oil (good), but too much of it is in the sauce.

Eat slowly and stop when you are almost full. Instead, bring a fruit to work and eat it when you are hungry later.

Bring an ugly picture of fat or someone that's very fat. It will remind you not to over eat. Also eat with people that eat healthy.

Exercise as often as possible, even if it's just walking to the kitchen or bathroom. Like the Nike commercial, just do it.
Look at the people in the city, they are usually skinnier than country folks because they walk more than drive.
You sit and drive to work and sit at the office for another 8 hours. That's alot of sitting and maybe only 20 minutes of walking total. We should do the opposite.

I know it's hard for sub-urban people, so you have to do the walking before work or after work. Try to walk around in the office too. Drink lots of water will help you get going to the restroom.

If you follow my instructions, you will lose 10 percent of your weight. I am 5 feet 11, used to weight 190 last year. Now I am down to 165. I lost about 15% by eating less juck food and takeout. I also did just a bit more exercise. So by changing a little, it help me alot. Good Luck.

Answer 6

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats and it will tell you how many calories a day you need to maintain your weight. take 300-400calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 big ones.
5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.
8 glasses of water a day.
4-6 times a week cardio work out for 30-50min plus light weight training.
no junk food, no sodas, no white flour (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc)

Answer 7

Answer 10

That's awesome that you made the decision to lose weight. Just to give you some logical advice before you start on this endeavor however. It is not safe to lose more than 1-2 pounds p/week. I know, as well as everyone is on this planet, that when we really want something bad, and i do believe you want it, that you want it as soon as possible. Just remember, as you would probably want this weight off in a month or two, it took years of putting it on. Not that it will take years of taking it off. With that said, 3500 hundred calories = 1 lb. This is to gain it or lose it. So, to lose 1 lb. - 2 lb. of weight a week (7 days in a week, duh!), you need to reduce your calories of what your already consuming by 500 calories p/day. However, counting calories suck, most people don't know how to do it, so I'll just simply give you advice on a healthy lifestyle, specifically with what to do physically, and what to do nutritionally. Nutritionally, if you eat well enough, you can eat to being full, all the time! Specifically eating around every 3 hours, which would equate to 5-6 meals/snacks a day. If you do this, and eat right, not only will you not be hungry (because everyone knows deprivation of food sucks and only equates quitting the healthy lifestyle), but you'll look and feel great too! For breakfast, stick with foods such as eggs (only 100% bioavailable food on this planet), 100% whole _____ breads (oat, wheat, rye, etc), fruit, fruit, and more fruit!, oatmeal (try to make it yourself over instant if you can)- you can add frozen berries, honey(way better source of sugar than plain white/brown sugar) granola, Kashi anything (really healthy for you) orange juice with calcium + vit. C, if you love bacon-Turkey bacon, you can have coffee but try not to add sugar, if you must drink milk-if you drink 2%, go to 1%, if you drink 1%, go to skim etc. For snacks, handful of almonds, walnuts, cashews, peanuts, Smart Balance Peanut butter on celery, vegetables, vegetables, VEGETABLES, catch my drift! Everyone knows vegetables are bland, so do something to trick yourself. I cut up raw broccoli really small, put it on a salad, and with a light dressing you never know they are there, put sunflower seeds or craisins on your salad, you won't know they are there, skip the croutons and loads of cheese. *Tip-in a restaurant, ask for dressing on side and only put half of the container or less on. Oatmeal is a good snack, Kashi granola bars, Nature Valley granola bars, yogurt is a great snack, toast with Smart Balance Light butter, Light butter popcorn-don't eat the whole bag! Fruit is always a great snack. Anyway, other than that, your number one biggest key to losing weight is FIBER (apples, Kashi anything, MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF VEGETABLES) sweet potatos, red potatos. They are key because they not only fill you up, they control blood sugar, and don't let you crash, meaning you'll stay full longer. Overall for meals, fish (specifically tuna 2X p/wk, trout, mackeral, sardines, SALMON) any fatty fish at least 2X p/wk is extremely healthy for you, especially your heart. Lean chicken, turkey, take off the skin and don't eat anything fried, EVER! You can cook in oils, specifically olive, canola, sunflower, just make sure they are not hydrogenated! = cancer! Lean beef, for all of your meats, don't eat a size no larger than your fist, consume fiber with it, and keep your plate 2/3 full of colored food when eating meat=salad, carrots, broccoli, etc. Cakes, cookies, sweets, candies, doughnuts=GOTTA GO! Now I know no one can go without a little sweets, so incorporate healthy deserts, google search them, there are ways around a bad desert for you and a not so bad desert. Example, Angel Food Cake has no fat whatsoever, is going to have some sugar in it, but hey, everyone needs to indulge every once in a while. Get some strawberries, slice em up, don't add sugar! and your good to go! More than anything, I really do believe that Americans are struggling with their weight for two reasons 1) our consumption of liquid calories is outta control- try to cut out all soda, even diet, replace with water, water, and more WATER!, try green tea, or tea in general, moderately drink fruit juice, such as orange, cranberry, or pomegranate. 2) our portion size is outta control. Remember the eat meats only the size of your fist rule, don't go crazy on carbs, especially bad carbs. Don't be afraid of carbs though, all the foods I listed earlier are ok and will keep you full. All diets mainly suck, and no one needs to go on a low fat, no fat, low carb, no carb, certain soup, or whatever diet. I swear if I told people to eat standing on their head and they would lose weight they'd do it. Do your research, sorry this was long, it's a great starting point, moderately exercise. You don't need to join a gym, although this is ok too. Everyday you just need to do something, and then build up off of that. People think cardio sucks, but do you like to play basketball? Tennis, soccer, ultimate frisbee, golf? Who cares. If you have little kids, play with them, they never wear out. Walk, jog, skip if you want to. Garden, wash your car, doesn't matter, just do it, at least 30 minutes a day. Once you build up, increase the time and intensity. By the way, before starting any kind of program like this, consult your doc, tell em what ur doing. Some prescription meds don't go well with certain things (ex. Coumadin should not be taken with excessive amounts of Vit. K, found in brocolli, grean beans, and salad, amongst others) Motivate yourself everyday, visualize the healthier you, and surround yourself with positive people. They don't have to eat or do what your doing, but they at least need to be positive and help you on your quest. Good Luck! This is just a start, do more research if you need to based off of these principles i've listed here.
